The Health Benefits of Using Saddle Bar Stools

Saddle bar stools may look unconventional but their design is firmly based upon ergonomic principles. Many offices around the world have now converted to using saddle-style chairs because of the health benefits for employees. Here are some of the benefits of using a saddle bar stool over conventional chairs.

• The larger angle between torso and legs is a much more natural position to be in – as a consequence posture is improved and tension in the upper back and neck is reduced.
• Leg circulation is improved because the legs are in a much more open position and there is no edge pressing against the back of your thigh as with normal seats.
• The stance you use on a saddle stool stimulates and strengthens the back, abdominal and buttock muscles.
• Because you sit higher on a saddle stool it requires much less effort to get up and sit down.

Many professionals who spend a lot of time sat down have already started to feel the benefits of using saddle style bar stools – they seem to be particularly popular with hair dressers, dentists and graphic designers. Often this style of bar stool can be very expensive, but you can get them from us for just £39.99 in a choice of black, white or red. View our saddle bar stools on the site.
